Datasets

DCAT vocabulary already has a concept dcat:Dataset which is a sub-class of dcat:Resource. We use this concept to describe any rare disease-related dataset. When a dataset is about the content of rare disease resources such as biobank and dataset then we recommend using sio:isrelatedto property to connect the dataset to its rare disease resource.
